By: Sabine van Gameren

Sonik Foundry is an industrial act from USA who released its debut album “Mechanized” via Hitman Records.

Nicademus, the man behind Sonik Foundry, has had a past as a DJ and a project called Cybersonic. Nowadays its via Sonik Foundry that gets his artistic touches out to the world. The album “Mechanized” holds highly danceable and accessible tunes. Expect to a certain catchiness, that captures people easily, bringing the atmosphere of the sound on a good vibe. The brutality is not really upfront nevertheless, there is plenty of depth to hear when focusing more to the story that Sonik Foundry wants to tell. Nicademus seems to speak straight from himself in the most direct way. Album opener “My Experiment” and the fifth song “Alone” seem to be the witnesses to that. Most impressive is the song “Human Nature” that takes grip on you by the lyrics as well as the booming bass that comes through your body when listening with a decent volume. It surely represents the darkest side of Sonik Foundry shown on this album.

Overall, the album is promising and hopeful for the future releases. We suspect a world act out of this here to rise and take the battle with the long established names in the genre. People who enjoy the sounds of Combichrist are recommended to check out Sonik Foundry, for example. Sonik Foundry has the potential to second them in just a few years when continue working like this.
